Halibut Filet with Brussels Sprouts

Halibut Filet with Brussels Sprouts

We got some more fish caught by our neighbor (Thank You!) and I had to prepare it right away. These were nice, big, thick Halibut filets!

Halibut filet: Butter a baking dish and place the seasoned (salt&pepper) filets in it. Then squeeze the juice of half a lemon over it. Now saute some onions and put on the fish, add some sun dried tomatoes. Put the dish in the oven at 400F for about 20 minutes.

Brussels Sprouts: I wanted to do these quickly, so I put them in a bowl, added table spoon of water, covered the bowl and put it in the microwave for about 5 minutes.

Sauce for Sprouts: While the sprouts were steaming I browned some butter in a pan and added some bread crumbs. I stirred the mixture until the crumbs turned golden.

When done I placed the filets topped with some thyme on plates, added some Brussels sprouts and poured some of the sauce over them.

I can’t believe almost 2 month past since I posted anything. It’s not like we didn’t eat anything during this time.

Here is a simple quick one.

Vegetables: Brussels Sprouts where still in season so I steamed some and added some cut carrots.

Sauce: Melt some butter, add some flour and saute until lightly brown. Add some chicken stock and Sigo cheese. Season with salt and pepper.

Shrimp: Simply grilled with salt and pepper.

The local supermarket had these nice, big shrimp on sale for a very good price, so I couldn’t resist. So there will be some more shrimp posts coming… :)

Shrimp: First I made a sauce: Saute some onion until soft, then add some sun dried tomatoes, half a cup of cream (you can use milk if you want it a little lighter) and some salt & pepper. Let the sauce simmer for a while and then run it through a blender. Put the blended sauce back into the pot and add the shrimp. Cook until the shrimp is done, depending on size this will be around 5 minutes.

Asparagus: I used green asparagus and peeled the bottom part of the stems a little so they won’t be too tough. I simply grilled them.

I saw some good looking fish called Basa in the Asian grocery store and even though I didn’t know what kind of fish it was I bought it. Turns out Basa is a common cat fish from South East Asia.

Basa: I simply pan-fried it with some grape seed oil.

Vegetable: I just tossed some Brussels Sprouts with chopped onions, bell peppers, beets and mushrooms, added some salt/pepper and olive oil, and then put them in the oven at 400F for 30 minutes (or until Brussels Sprouts are done). Just before serving I added some cherry tomatoes.
